Dancing in community is an ancient practice, and people throughout time have moved their bodies to connect with themselves and each other, to celebrate, grieve, discover and create.

Our bodies are the sacred anchor for consciousness and life energy which dances through us with every breath. We can intentionally connect with our physical sensations, feelings and subtle awareness, which we put in motion through improvisational dance, attuning with compassion, and expressing in a friendly way. ​The lunar cycle reflects a birth, death, and rebirth process through which life continually renews itself. Through tuning into this cycle, we can know ourselves more deeply as intimately connected with nature. The full moon is like a flower in full-bloom, a culmination of energy within us. This is a wonderful time to dance in community, to connect, to collaborate with our energies and movements, and to embrace the polarities and opposites in our lives, cultivating self-acceptance, expression and a sense of freedom.

The Solstices and Equinoxes reflect the way the sun illuminates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The two points in the year the Sun will illuminate the Northern and Southern Hemispheres equally are known as the equinoxes, and there are approximately equal hours of daylight and darkness.

You are invited to join the dance -- dancing your aliveness, your life and the turning of the wheel; dancing to honor your rhythm and the rhythm of the season. Join us to participate in this community event – open to all who would like to connect and move.

Rhonda Mills will facilitate the presence-connect-playshop at the beginning and lightly guide the improvisational movement. Bradford Smith will DJ the dance set, including some live music and vocals.

“Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god. And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world."-- Joseph Campbell
